Machining condition determination support device, machining condition determination support system, display device, machining condition determination support method, and machining condition determination support program

A machining condition determination support method for supporting determination of a machining condition for a machine tool that machines a workpiece with a tool, the method comprising:

• based on target shape information indicating a shape of the workpiece, path information indicating a movement path of the tool, and tool shape information indicating a shape of the tool, determining a contact position between the tool and the workpiece when the tool moves along the movement path;
• and
• generating contact position information indicating temporal transition of the contact position when the tool moves along the movement path.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a machining condition determination support program for supporting determination of a machining condition for a machine tool that machines a workpiece with a tool, the program causing a computer to execute:

• based on target shape information indicating a shape of the workpiece, path information indicating a movement path of the tool, and tool shape information indicating a shape of the tool, determining a contact position between the tool and the workpiece when the tool moves along the movement path;
• and
• generating contact position information indicating temporal transition of the contact position when the tool moves along the movement path.
